Why Pakistan and India Still Fly Decades-Old Mirage Jets | Who Will Retire Them First?
Pakistan and India both operate large fleets of aging Mirage aircraft and are in a quiet race over who will retire them first. In this detailed 15-minute video, we break down:
• How many Mirage jets each country still has
• Why neither Pakistan nor India is retiring them yet
• The real reasons behind keeping these old fighters operational
• Who is more likely to retire them first
• Future options available for both air forces
Pakistan still flies around 85-90 Mirage III and Mirage 5 aircraft, while India operates approximately 50 Mirage 2000s. Despite multiple retirement deadlines, both countries continue to rely on these jets due to squadron shortages, high replacement costs, and delays in new fighter inductions.
Watch till the end to understand the complete Mirage dilemma between the two rival air forces.
